Hello,
I cannot get any WiFi sample to work on my nRF7002-DK.
I first attempted to follow the Get started example
I flashed the Precompiled Wi-Fi Provisioning Service sample with the programmer from nRf Connect (v4.2.1 linux)
And installed the mobile provisioning app (Android).
But I couldn't provision the DK, I got the error "Scanning error".
I performed the same process again to capture the logs, which was:

I observed the same 5 log lines at every boot whatever sample I try on the DK:
nrf_wifi_fw_load: nrf_wifi_fmac_fw_load failed [00:00:14.385,223] <err> wifi_nrf: nrf_wifi_hal_fw_chk_boot: Boot_sig check failed for RPU(0), Expected: 0x5A5A5A5A, Actual: 0x88888888 [00:00:14.385,284] <err> wifi_nrf: nrf_wifi_fmac_fw_load: LMAC ROM boot check failed [00:00:14.389,526] <err> wifi_nrf: nrf_wifi_fmac_dev_add_zep: nrf_wifi_fw_load failed [00:00:14.389,556] <err> wifi_nrf: nrf_wifi_drv_main_zep: nrf_wifi_fmac_dev_add_zep failed
After doing some research, I found this post detailing a similar issue but with no apparent solution.
It led me to this 2nd post talking about the need to set a MAC address in OTP memory (which I find strange given the fact that none of the getting started doc for the DK mentions it).
I attempted to perform this by flashing the "Wi-Fi radio test sample". But any OTP commands I attempt fails.
For example simply attempting to get the OTP status:
uart:~$ wifi_radio_ficr_prog otp_get_status FAILED reading otp memory...... [00:08:04.314,392] <err> otp_prog: OTP is not ready [00:08:04.314,422] <err> otp_prog: err in otp ready poll
I also attempted the alternative method to set the MAC from the doc.
But setting a MAC with "net_mgmt(NET_REQUEST_ETHERNET_SET_MAC_ADDRESS..." I get the errors:
[00:00:15.066,497] <err> wifi_nrf: umac_cmd_cfg: UMAC buff config not yet done(15) [00:00:15.066,528] <err> wifi_nrf: nrf_wifi_fmac_add_vif: NRF_WIFI_UMAC_CMD_NEW_INTERFACE failed [00:00:15.066,589] <err> wifi_nrf: nrf_wifi_if_start_zep: FMAC returned invalid interface index
(all samples where build with the nrf SDK v2.5.0)
At this point I'm wondering if I in fact have a defective DK.
Any suggestions ?
Thanks!
